The Japanese, the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun, are so distant and mysterious, incomprehensible and completely different from us, neighbors, but not friends, partners-not partners. There are so many myths, stereotypes, cliches, just idle speculation and fiction about them.
But do we really know who the Japanese are, how they live, how they see the world and their place in it, what they consider important and unimportant? Are we able to understand the soul of this people?
The book presented to your attention is an attempt to answer these questions. Of course, it is far from the first. Many remarkable people, outstanding scientists, fearless researchers, cultural figures have tried to tell us about the Japanese, about the uniqueness of this nation. But this has always been an outside view. And it is not for nothing that the Japanese say: "To understand the Japanese language, you need to think in Japanese." This is quite true for the Japanese. That is, in order to fully understand a representative of this nation, you need to be one or at least be born and raised there. But we will still try to do it.
In the book, you will read about how the Japanese nation was formed and what makes it unique, you will learn a lot of interesting things about Japanese history, culture, mentality, even its “forbidden” sides, about the relationship of the Japanese with the world and themselves and what Mount Fuji really means to them.
The publication is illustrated with original engravings and paintings by Japanese artists of the 17th – 19th centuries.
